Headers are really a waste of time and money on a stock Mustang. They do help with a blower and if after-market heads are used.

LT's will net more gains that shorties. In fact, shorties don't show any gains at all unless a power adder is used or with after-market heads.

Wrong. Shorties add 10 at the wheels on any mustang dyno.
